No one was making fun of Jamie Lee Curtis. I can't emphasize that enough.
“I know you look at me and think nepo baby, and I totally get it!” says Jamie Lee Curtis. “But the truth of the matter is I’m 64 years old and this is just amazing!”

RRR director S.S. Rajamouli says that, if "Naatu Naatu" is nominated at the Oscars, he will use "all my powers of persuasion" to make a live performance happen. He may not need to work that hard: Star Ram Charan says he would "absolutely" do it.

Backstage at the Globes, Austin Butler addresses why he still talks like Elvis. "I don't think I sound like him much, but I've heard it enough that I guess it's true." He compares it to someone who gets an accent from living in a foreign country: "It's in my DNA now."
